Crop rotation is the practice of growing different types of crops ,in tho samo fiefd in sequential seasons to avoid a decrease in soil fertility, as growing the same crop repeatedly in the same place eventually depletes the soil of various nutrients. Crop rotation helps to balance the fertility dem ands of various crops. By crop rotation farm ers can keep th eir fields under continuous production, without the need ÍO let them lie fallow, and reducing the need for artificial fertilizers, both of which can be expensive. In subsistence farm ing, it also makes good n utrition al sense to grow beans and grain a t the sam e tim e in different fields. Crop rotation is also used to control pests and diseases that can become established in the soil over time. Plants within the sam e family tend to have sim ilar pests and pathogens. By regularly changing the planting location, the pest cycles can be broken or limited. This principle is of particular use in organic farm ing, where pest control may be achieved without synthetic pesticides. The choice and sequence of rotation crops depends on the nature of the soil, the clim ate, and precipitation which together determ ine the type of plants th a t may be cultivated. O ther im portant aspects of farm ing such as crop m arketing and economic variables must also be considered when choosing a crop rotation. Crop rotation was already m entioned in the Roman literature, and referred to by great civilizations in Africa and Asia. From Ihc end of the Middle Ages until the 20th century, the three-year rotation was practised by farm ers in Europe.

There are about 227 million Americans, and nearly sixty million of them go to school. Am ericans have always believed in education, but in an American way. The school’s first job is to turn millions of foreign children into Americans. Since they camc from many different countries, this is not easy. Schools have to teach th e foreign children to speak English, to love th eir now country, and to learn how to live in it. More and more parents from other countries have sent their children to the USA to get schooling because they think it may the ladder up which th e ir children may climb to a better life. Most American parents still pay less attention to book-learning than to a practical education th at will help their children to find a good job. Therefore getting started on a successful career is the main aim of the American education. The ƯSA tries to make children equal. However, th e re is also some difference between public schools in rich areas and poor areas. For example, Mississippi spends 1,300 USD a year on each student and M assachusetts - a much richer state - spends ‘2,400 ƠSÍ).
Many Americans are worried about the serious problem of violence and failure in some schools. However, we cannot deny the great success of American education. Its best universities are among the best anywhere. American philosophers and economists are world-famous and more and more American scientists win Nobo) prizes. But perhaps the most important is th at American education never stops. 36. According to th e w r ite r ,_____ .

Americans are usually tolerant Off non-native speakers who have some trouble understanding English. But they become annoyed when a person protends to under-stand but does not really and then creates problems because of misunderunder-standing what was said. No one wants soap when he asks for soup. So, if you do not under-stand what is said to you, admit it and politely ask the person to repeat or explain. It is quite rude to converse with a companion in your native language and leave your American friends standing there feeling stupid because they cannot understand the conversation. They may also feel th at you are talking about them or saying something th at you do not want them to hear. ĩf you must use your native language to explain something to a non-English-speaking companion, at least translate for your American friends so that they do not feel left out.
